Equipment:
  • Cookie Sheet 13" x 19" (OR Aluminized Steel Cookie Sheet, Commercial Grade Pure Aluminum Cookie Sheet, Cookie Sheet 13", 15", 17")
  • 2-1 Scraper & Spatula 10"
  • Brush and Spatula Set
  • 4pcs Measuring Cups with Scraper
  • Reusable Piping Bag and Tips
  • Whisk (Stainless Steel)
  • Carbon Steel Rolling Pin 19"
  • Set of 3 Cooling Rack

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 10 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • Edible Red & Green Sprinkles
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract*
  • 32–36 Hershey’s Kisses

Instructions:

  1. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl, whisking them until well together. Set the mixture aside for later use.
  2. In a large bowl, using either a whisk or stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together on high speed until creamy. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract to the bowl, continuing to beat the mixture until all ingredients are well incorporated. 
  3. Begin to add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the dough is combined. The dough should have a thick consistency.
  4. Roll the dough in a dish of sprinkles. Take portions of the dough, approximately 1 tablespoon each, and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls on a baking sheet or plate that will fit in your refrigerator. Chill the dough balls in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  5. While the dough balls are chilling, preheat your oven to 350°F.
  6. After chilling, place the dough balls on a baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced about 2 inches apart. Bake the cookies for 12 minutes, or until they look ready. The centers of the cookies should appear slightly underbaked. This allows the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes.
  7. To finish the cookies, press a Hershey's Kiss candy into the center of each cookie. Using a spatula, transfer the cookies to a plate. 
  8. Once the cookies have set, they are ready to be served.
